I commute nearly 2 1/2 hours a day round trip, and I take routes that take me from near Guelph to Hamilton, so traffic reports every 5 minutes about the 401 or Don Valley parkway or Islington and Bloor don't really interest me. I wake up to 680News, so I already know what happened while I was sleeping, and don't need a recap every 30 minutes. I have never been influenced by the commercials I hear, not having purchased Sleep Country Matresses, AlarmForce Home Security Systems and do not suffer from mental depression that I need to listen to former loser heroin skanks whine about wrong coices they made in life but how CAMH helped them. I just want to listen to music, uninterrupted, for the nice leisurly drive through the Halton Hills while go to and from work. Satellite Radio is my salvation. Pop the unit in, tune to all jazz, and thats it...no irritating DJ's talking about **** I don't care about, no commercials, no traffic, weather and news updates, just music. If it only lasts a year, which I doubt, it will be one year of bliss. Some of you negative nellies who **** on everything because, well, thats the type of ****turds you are, seem to forget that there are more people outside Toronto and Ottawa. There are millions and millions of people who live in places that do not have access to the CN Tower, and can't pick up terrestial radio other than maybe one or two FM stations that play songs none of us have ever heard of. It's these same people who purchased ExpressVU and StarChoice systems to get TV that wasn't available in their rural areas. Now these same people will purchase satellite radio for their cars and home, to listen to jazz, rock, classical and other music, NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE TORONTO!! Get it?? Just once in your lives, take your head out of your ass and imagine how someone else lives and thinks, and maybe you'll see that not only are there other points of view, but that not everyone thinks in such a small and limited scope. I think you're right about people wanting to tune out traditional radio stations and their disc jockeys and their bull**** ads. I hope this kills AM radio, but it probably won't. Whatever happened to the desired "CD Radio" where the AM and FM band would disappear along w/ stations licenses and CD Radio would replace it (also making ANY radio/stereo/clock radio obsolute!)? That was expected years ago and to have launched around this time.

XM and Sirius seem to be full of them and it seems like for some reason they are getting more. Too bad for us all. About the only "DJ" you'll get is some replays of the old '60s Wolfman Jack show on the '60s channel. lol Ah, thank god for the advent of mp3 stereos. |

Then again, years later and Bell ExpressVu and even LOOK TV is still kickin'. Given that most of the infrastructure is already in place, it's a question of whether the 675,000 subscribers are worth the cost of dealing with the legislative bull****. I believe the American pioneers won't break even for 4-6 years. I suppose you'd have to double that at least for the Canadian co's. If they were starting over from scratch, launching new satellites, developing new hardware, etc, then yes. They're not. The infrastructure is already in place, they're just opening up their potential market to include significantly more customers. -- "NEWS SERVERS ARE NOT POWER BY HAMSTERS" -- rfgdxm/Robert F.

XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada unveils lineup
with a pretty extensive collection of mps and a good mp3 player (some can
handle up to 30000 song on hd) you can have all the musiq you like,and with the random feature on those device,you will never hear the same song all the time... there are even ways of having random songs but of just a few chosen styles..and you can put many type of styles to a single song... lets say in the ghetto from Elvis ,can be tagged as ,Elvis,ballad,70's now if you do something like that you will have your own xm radio service inside your car,wont have to pay a service fee,and if there are some song that you really like from local people ,not known to the great American people,well you will be able to listen to those song too... now I know I was steering the pot... with my 2 liner.. cause you asked for it..when stating that xm radio or Sirius would be such a great thing..when in fact its only a damn way for by corporation to control what you listen to... "Freddy" a écrit dans le message de news: ... have you ever heard of "why listen to the same old **** over and over again when I can hear a variety of everything and have someone else do the work" why are you people so hostile and negative all the time....sheesh, reading through all these posts, each time someone makes a comment, all you trolls have to come out of the woodwork and start ****ting on people... "petem" wrote in message ... have you ever heard of cd? MP3? or even tapes? "Freddy" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

Keep in mind that someone out there must have, at one time, recorded a Stern show. Have that person email that show to you... it will be exactly like every other show he has done every day, just with a different girls name! No need to subscribe to anything---just play the Stern MP3 over and over and over, like he does every morning. Time for the truth? http://web2.airmail.net/capella/aguide/ |
